On 8 November 2012 the Minister for Education and Skills issued a Written Statement to the National Assembly for Wales regarding a new Task and Finish Group that he is setting up to look at school governance issues.

In particular the Group will be focusing on the roles and the split of responsibilities of those involved in the school governance system i.e. headteachers, school governors and local authorities.

The Minister has asked the Group to consider the fitness for purpose of the school governance framework in Wales and make recommendations based on the conclusions drawn from the group’s review.
